Fish In a Bowl

He's setting it up
Tearing it down
I've seen him before
Do the merry-go-round
You sit all alone
Close to the phone
You're waiting so bold
But the story's been told

You look like a fish in a bowl
With him on the outside
Looking in
- Tapping on the glass
Just to find out if you're fast
And in solid gold

Fish in a bowl
With him on the outside
Looking in
- Tapping on the glass
Just to find out if you last
When you lose control

Respect
You need to connect
Well, you ain't gonna get it
Through the way you behave
You got to be young
Before you grow old
You got to know fire
To know when it's cold

You look like a fish in a bowl
With him on the outside
Looking in
- Tapping on the glass
Just to find out if you're fast
And in solid gold

Fish in a bowl
With him on the outside
Looking in
- Tapping on the glass
Just to find out if you last
When you lose control

You thought you'd get a real good time
But in fact he's just jerkin' your mind
Don't believe in everything you see
I'm so glad it's you and it's not me

Fish in a bowl
With him on the outside
Looking in
- Tapping on the glass
Just to find out if you're fast
And in solid gold

Fish in a bowl
With him on the outside
Looking in
- Tapping on the glass
Just to find out if you last
When you lose control
